Want to recommend Emmanuel Marshall children's shoes in the ED warehouse. Professional fitting service, good range of school shoes (just bought ours) loads of summer shoes hugely reduced including birkenstocks. Getting wellies in soon. And the kids got a bag of jelly beans. Everyone happy.

She also has a loyalty scheme - buy 5 pairs of shoes and get 20% off 6th pair. She has baseball boots for ?6 and cute flip flops for ?1!

I'd also like to recommend Emmanuel Marshall at ED warehouse. Went there on a saturday with my daughter and got excellent service - she took a lot of care and time fitting and paid attention to the shape of my daughter's feet and toes (high instep, long toes), which John Barnetts never bothered to do. Incidentally, she said that she takes old childrens shoes and passes them on to Variety club charity for reconditioning and sending off to children in Africa.
Dorothy at Emmanuelle Marshall is brilliant. When she fitted my kids recently she paid so much attention to detail like long toes and high instep not just the reading on the gauge. She used to manage a Clarks shop apparently. We will be buying all our shoes from her in future.

Yep, we went to Emmanuelle Marshall today - so impressed with the service and the prices, am going back next week when she gets her new boot stock in! Generally a lovely experience shopping in the ED Warehouse - we ordered a coffee (which was brought to us whilst we were doing the shoe thing)and could pay for everything on a card when we were finished. Vowed to myself to make a concerted effort to support these places - people going out of their way to provide great service, you don't realise how much of a difference it makes until you experience it.

I want to add to the list of recommendations for Dorothy at Emmanuel Marshall - I took my daughter there yesterday as she had her heart set on "boots with zips" (got to love 3.5 year old girls and their attention to detail!). It was a lovely relaxed setting, Dorothy was really good with her, and most importantly we came away with a great pair of boots that my daughter is very pleased with.


There was a lovely range of shoes there, nice to have something different to the standard Clarks offerings.


Definitely worth a visit if you haven't already been.

I also would like to add a recommendation for Dorothy at Emmanuel Marshall. She spent a very long time fitting shoes for my girls, and a lovely choice of styles. Prices are similar to clarks/startrite - and we even got a 10% discount for being twins, even though I only bought one pair of shoes. She was also very happy to fit and comment on a pair of shoes I had bought from another shop. Will definitely be back for another visit

Another happy punter! Took my son and Dorothy was so lovely! Got a stylish and a bit different pair of shoes. He loves them so much he said he'd wear them to bed if he could! Also going to post on the thread that mentions Dorothy's shop's name to give it a better 'heads up'.


Hope Dorothy's here to stay!

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
